S.C.PANNELL OLD MCDONALD Grenache 2023

Mclaren Vale Wine Show Trophy Winner

Marcus Ellis (97 points) The fruit clings to tannins - like flesh to a cherry pip - without spilling out. Its a beautifully poised iteration of this cuvee, and just such a delight. Marcus Ellis (97 points) 

Almost the purest, most refined release from Pannell's single-vineyard range this year. Excellent. James Suckling 

"I have worked with the Old McDonald vineyard since 2004 and am constantly wowed by the quality of the vineyard and the wine it makes.
The flavours achieved here are unlike any other vineyard I work with"

Tasting Note

Flavour

The classic version of McLaren Vale Grenache - Romantic, old-world charm with a core of sweet fruit. Roses, lovage, woody herbs, leaf matter, cranberry and raspberry preserve. The primary aromas are red and loaded with tension: chorizo and sweet paprika again in 2023 followed by the signature blood orange, pomegranate and Turkish delight we've come to
expect from this vineyard.

Texture

Like a room full of balloons ready to be squeezed: potentially loud and brash on one hand but soft and pleasant to hold in the other. The textures promote the red fuits and now it's a large room with red ballons only. There's richness here but it maintains McLaren Vale grenache's natural medium-bodied nature

Goes With

Bar Lourinha Chickpea & Spinach with Chorizo. We recommend decanting one hour before serving.

Cellaring

Many, many years of ageing potential, try 15+
